#19070 closed Bug (fixed)

urlize template filter raises exception in some cases

Description

In some cases, urlize template filter fails because it's trying to parse ipv6 url and exception is raised:

>>> from django.utils.html import urlize
>>> urlize('www.ee]')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "django/utils/functional.py", line 193, in wrapper
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "django/utils/html.py", line 213, in urlize
    url = smart_urlquote('http://%s' % middle)
  File "django/utils/html.py", line 152, in smart_urlquote
    scheme, netloc, path, query, fragment = urlsplit(url)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/urlparse.py", line 183, in urlsplit
    raise ValueError("Invalid IPv6 URL")
ValueError: Invalid IPv6 URL

'www.google.com]' also breaks, but 'google.com]' doesn't.

IMHO urlize filter should never raise exceptions. In my case it is used on plaintext user input which we have no control over, and I'm assuming that errors in Django's template rendering are always handled internally and silently. In this case I'd expect urlize() to catch the ValueError from urlsplit and handle it somehow, e.g. by skipping the url.

Happens in both 1.4 as well as master, 1.3 is not affected.

Fixing the square bracket issue

Type: UncategorizedBug

Attached a patch which fixes the specific square bracket issue (note that the issue is only accurate from Python 2.7).

The question remains whether we should swallow exceptions around smart_urlquote. Aymeric?

Patch reviewed and it's RFC.

Perhaps the question about swallowing exceptions shoud be discussed in django-developers or in separate ticket.

comment:3 by Andrew Godwin, 12 years ago

I'm going to commit the patch since it's the precise fix for this bug and we're getting affected by this - if we want to discuss the general exceptions issue let's do it elsewhere.

It still seems possible to break urlize in Django 1.5.1:

Testcase:

>>> import django
>>> django.VERSION
(1, 5, 1, 'final', 0)
>>> from django.template.defaultfilters import urlize
>>> urlize('[http://168.192.0.1](http://168.192.0.1)')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/EmilStenstrom/Envs/kundo/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/template/defaultfilters.py", line 45, in _dec
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/Users/EmilStenstrom/Envs/kundo/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/template/defaultfilters.py", line 336, in urlize
    return mark_safe(urlize_impl(value, nofollow=True, autoescape=autoescape))
  File "/Users/EmilStenstrom/Envs/kundo/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/functional.py", line 194, in wrapper
    return func(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/Users/EmilStenstrom/Envs/kundo/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/html.py", line 212, in urlize
    url = smart_urlquote(middle)
  File "/Users/EmilStenstrom/Envs/kundo/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/html.py", line 153, in smart_urlquote
    scheme, netloc, path, query, fragment = urlsplit(url)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/urlparse.py", line 182, in urlsplit
    raise ValueError("Invalid IPv6 URL")
ValueError: Invalid IPv6 URL

@EmilStenstrom, I think opening a new ticket would have been the best course of action here since the commits for this ticket were already released, but moving this back to "Unreviewed" for the new issue.

comment:9 by andrea_crotti, 11 years ago

On django (1, 6, 0, 'alpha', 0)
I get a different output
u'[<a href="http://168.192.0.1](http://168.192.0.1)" rel="nofollow">http://168.192.0.1](http://168.192.0.1)</a>'
I'm not entirely sure that this result is correct either though..

As this problem was reported, I think it would be good to add the test to the testsuite. It's a realistic use, and means we can be sure this does not break at any time. I'll clean the patch a little bit and make a PR.
